*LOL*
Have come to the conclusion it is time to weed down my vintage detergent stash. Am doing so with a heavy heart but it must be done for several reasons.
First the AEG/OKO-Lavamat is very unhappy with anything but modern European detergents that are both low froth and clean rinsing. Can get away with the older Persil 59, and a few others such as All with the "three B's" but everything else seems to cause problems.
Also one has a very large and growing stash of modern Persil and other European detergents. Find these give great results in both the Miele and AEG washers so why keep the old stuff around to moulder? I certainly won't get to much of it in my lifetime especially as one has the stash of vintage Persil soap powder and detergent to work through, so why not share the wealth.
Am trying to work through that huge box of All with "Bleach Borax and Brighteners", but it is taking forever. Actually do not use it as much as one should because it has a tendency to tint certain fabrics blue, and or cause staining. Indeed it seems elastic bands on undergarments on most everything laundered in the stuff are now blue...
Will post in the Shopper's Square forum soon as have sorted out what is going and minimum prices. FleaPay again sent me another free listing offer but may just deal with the group if demand warrants.
Off the top of my head know have a the follow that probably is going up for the bid. You can see pictures in this older thread: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?39129
Box of Dash
Box of Bold with enzymes (from Canada printed in both English and French)
Bars of P&G White Laundry Soap
Bars of Kirkman's Borax Soap
Bars of Armour's Tub Soap (missing wrappers due to a leaking bottle stored above)
A few boxes of Surf detergent
A few boxes of coin vend sizes of Ultra Biz (old formula)
Box of Cold Power detergent (am told this stuff is highly sudsing so never bothered to open and try even though it is was Mother's brand when one was a child).
This is all off the top of one's head. Have to dig things out from under beds, in closets, and God only knows where else have stashed to sort the lot out.
Anyone interested you know where to find one. *LOL*
